CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a Continuation Application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/750,052 filed on Jan. 23, 2020, which claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. 119(a) of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2019-0127853 filed on Oct. 15, 2019, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.

BACKGROUND 1. Field

The present disclosure relates to an optical imaging system.

2. Description of the Background

Recently, mobile communications terminals have been provided with camera modules including an optical imaging system composed of a plurality of lenses, enabling video calling and image capturing.

In addition, as levels of functionality of cameras in such mobile communications terminals have gradually increased, the camera modules mounted in such mobile communications terminals have gradually been required to have higher levels of resolution.

Furthermore, since mobile communications terminals tend to be miniaturized, the camera modules mounted in mobile communications terminals may also be required to be slimmer.

Therefore, the development of an optical imaging system realizing compactness and a high level of resolution may be desired.

The above information is presented as background information only to assist with an understanding of the present disclosure. No determination has been made, and no assertion is made, as to whether any of the above might be applicable as prior art with regard to the disclosure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following detailed description is provided to assist the reader in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the methods, apparatuses, and/or systems described herein. However, various changes, modifications, and equivalents of the methods, apparatuses, and/or systems described herein will be apparent after an understanding of this disclosure. For example, the sequences of operations described herein are merely examples, and are not limited to those set forth herein, but may be changed as will be apparent after an understanding of this disclosure, with the exception of operations necessarily occurring in a certain order. Also, descriptions of features that are known in the art may be omitted for increased clarity and conciseness.

The features described herein may be embodied in different forms, and are not to be construed as being limited to the examples described herein. Rather, the examples described herein have been provided merely to illustrate some of the many possible ways of implementing the methods, apparatuses, and/or systems described herein that will be apparent after an understanding of this disclosure. Hereinafter, while embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is noted that examples are not limited to the same.

Throughout the specification, when an element, such as a layer, region, or substrate, is described as being “on,” “connected to,” or “coupled to” another element, it may be directly “on,” “connected to,” or “coupled to” the other element, or there may be one or more other elements intervening therebetween. In contrast, when an element is described as being “directly on,” “directly connected to,” or “directly coupled to” another element, there can be no other elements intervening therebetween. As used herein “portion” of an element may include the whole element or less than the whole element.

As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any one and any combination of any two or more of the associated listed items; likewise, “at least one of” includes any one and any combination of any two or more of the associated listed items.

Although terms such as “first,” “second,” and “third” may be used herein to describe various members, components, regions, layers, or sections, these members, components, regions, layers, or sections are not to be limited by these terms. Rather, these terms are only used to distinguish one member, component, region, layer, or section from another member, component, region, layer, or section. Thus, a first member, component, region, layer, or section referred to in examples described herein may also be referred to as a second member, component, region, layer, or section without departing from the teachings of the examples.

Spatially relative terms, such as “above,” “upper,” “below,” “lower,” and the like, may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element's relationship to another element as shown in the figures. Such spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, an element described as being “above,” or “upper” relative to another element would then be “below,” or “lower” relative to the other element. Thus, the term “above” encompasses both the above and below orientations depending on the spatial orientation of the device. The device may be also be oriented in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations), and the spatially relative terms used herein are to be interpreted accordingly.

The terminology used herein is for describing various examples only, and is not to be used to limit the disclosure. The articles “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. The terms “comprises,” “includes,” and “has” specify the presence of stated features, numbers, operations, members, elements, and/or combinations thereof, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, operations, members, elements, and/or combinations thereof.

Due to manufacturing techniques and/or tolerances, variations of the shapes shown in the drawings may occur. Thus, the examples described herein are not limited to the specific shapes shown in the drawings, but include changes in shape that occur during manufacturing.

The features of the examples described herein may be combined in various ways as will be apparent after an understanding of this disclosure. Further, although the examples described herein have a variety of configurations, other configurations are possible as will be apparent after an understanding of this disclosure.

Herein, it is noted that use of the term “may” with respect to an example, for example, as to what an example may include or implement, means that at least one example exists in which such a feature is included or implemented while all examples are not limited thereto.

In the drawings, the thicknesses, sizes, and shapes of lenses may be somewhat exaggerated for convenience of explanation. In particular, the shapes of spherical surfaces or aspherical surfaces illustrated in the drawings are only illustrative. That is, the shapes of the spherical surfaces or the aspherical surfaces are not limited to those illustrated in the drawings.

In the present specification, a first lens refers to a lens closest to an object, while a seventh lens refers to a lens closest to an image sensor.

In addition, a first surface of each lens refers to a surface thereof closest to an object side (or an object-side surface) and a second surface of each lens refers to a surface thereof closest to an image side (or an image-side surface). Further, in the present specification, all numerical values of radii of curvature, thicknesses, distances, focal lengths, and the like, of lenses are indicated by millimeters (mm), and a field of view (FOV) is indicated by degrees.

Further, in a description of a shape of each of the lenses, the meaning that one surface of a lens is convex is that a paraxial region portion of a corresponding surface is convex, the meaning that one surface of a lens is concave is that a paraxial region portion of a corresponding surface is concave, and the meaning that one surface of a lens is a plane is that a paraxial region portion of a corresponding surface is a plane. Therefore, although it is described that one surface of a lens is convex, an edge portion of the lens may be concave. Likewise, although it is described that one surface of a lens is concave, an edge portion of the lens may be convex. Moreover, although it is described that one surface of a lens is a plane, an edge portion of the lens may be convex or concave.

Meanwhile, a paraxial region refers to a narrow region including an optical axis.

One or more examples of the present disclosure may provide an optical imaging system capable of realizing high resolution, and having a small size.

One or more examples of an optical imaging system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include seven lenses.

For example, the optical imaging system according to an embodiment may include a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, and a seventh lens, which are sequentially arranged from the object side. The first lens to the seventh lens may be respectively spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance along the optical axis.

However, the optical imaging system according to an embodiment is not limited to only including seven lenses, but may further include other components, when necessary.

For example, the optical imaging system may further include an image sensor converting an image of a subject incident thereon into an electrical signal.

In addition, the optical imaging system may further include an infrared filter (hereinafter, referred to as a filter) filtering infrared light. The filter may be disposed between the seventh lens and the image sensor.

In addition, the optical imaging system may further include a stop controlling an amount of light.

In the optical imaging system according to an embodiment, the first to seventh lenses may be formed of plastic.

In addition, at least one of the first to seventh lenses may have an aspherical surface. Further, each of the first to seventh lenses may have at least one aspherical surface.

That is, at least one of first and second surfaces of all of the first to seventh lenses may be aspherical. Here, the aspherical surfaces of the first to seventh lenses may be represented by the following Equation 1:

$\begin{matrix} {Z = {\frac{cY^{2}}{1 + \sqrt{\left( {1 + K} \right)c^{2}Y^{2}}} + {AY^{4}} + {BY^{6}} + {CY^{8}} + {DY}^{10} + {EY^{12}} + {FY^{14}} + {GY^{16}} + {HY^{18}} + {JY^{20}} + {KY^{22}} + {LY^{24}} + {MY^{26}} + {NY^{28}} + {OY}^{30}}} & {{Equation}1} \end{matrix}$

Here, c is a curvature (an inverse of a radius of curvature) of a lens, K is a conic constant, and Y is a distance from a certain point on an aspherical surface of the lens to an optical axis in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. In addition, constants A to O are aspherical coefficients. In addition, Z is a distance from the certain point on the aspherical surface of the lens to a tangential plane meeting the apex of the aspherical surface of the lens.

The optical imaging system including the first to seventh lenses may have positive refractive power/negative refractive power/positive refractive power/negative refractive power/positive refractive power/positive refractive power/negative refractive power sequentially from the object side. Alternatively, the first to seventh lenses may have positive refractive power/negative refractive power/positive refractive power/negative refractive power/negative refractive power/positive refractive power/negative refractive power.
